[QUOTE="raider, post: 148860, member: 353"] it's cold, and the colder it gets, the less pressure you have... with the new(ish) pressure relieving system that is used now, you end up with less pressure in the tank when it is filled... when it gets colder outside the pressure drops... it sucks,but it is what it is now with the new regs... 2 things... when i used to get them filled i would have them turn off the bleeder valve when they got close to full to increase the pressure... some attendants will, and some won't... if you had a tank filled when it was warm outside it will also have less pressure than it would have being filled now at the colder temps... bringing it inside will help... it has to warm up to increase the pressure... out here in the patch the racking crews use the 40's with a weed burning torch to heat the ends of the casing to get the caps off so they can drift the pipe... when the gas is cold like now, when they lose pressure, they will heat up the tank with the torch to warm up the propane, which gives them pressure again... every bottle on a racking truck is black with soot from doing this...
